ASX-listed West African Resources has struck a $45-million deal with Canada’s B2Gold Corp to acquire the Toega gold deposit, in Burkina Faso.
Located within 14 km of West African’s own Sanbrado project, the Toega deposit has an existing inferred resource of some 1.1-million ounces, grading 2.1 g/t gold. The deposit is situated on the Nakomgo exploration permit, which is 90% held by B2Gold and 10% held by its partner GAMS-Mining F&I.
